Washington:
With $34 billion in sales from its oil and gas operations, Reliance
Industries tops 47 Indian companies that figure in the Forbes list
of the world's biggest 2,000 companies.
Ranked 121st, Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance also makes it to the list
of top 200 companies with two other Indian entities, State Bank of
India (150) and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (152), in the list
compiled by the US business magazine.
However, five Indian companies - scam-hit IT firm Satyam, realty
firm Unitech, Suzlon Energy and two Anil Ambani group firms -
Reliance Power and Reliance Capital - have been dropped from the
Forbes 'Global 2000 List' this year.
Four Indian companies - Hero Honda Motors, Sun Pharma, Indian Bank
and Jindal Steel and Power Ltd - are the new entrants to the list.
The top 10 Indian companies are: Reliance Industries (121), State
Bank of India Group (150) Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (152) Indian
Oil Corporation (207) NTPC (317), ICICI Bank (329), Tata Steel
(463), Bharti Airtel (508), Steel Authority of India (582) and
Reliance Communications (689).
"This year's list reveals the dynamism of global business," Forbes
said, noting the rankings span 62 countries, with the US still
dominant at 551 members, but 200 fewer than in 2004, when Forbes
first published the global list.
This year, China has 91 members, south Korea 61, and India 47. Even
Kazakhstan is now a Global 2000 member. Also gaining a significant
presence on the Forbes list are corporations from Arab countries:
Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates each have at least
10 entries on this year's list.
In total, the Global 2000 companies now account for $32 trillion in
revenues, $1.6 trillion in profits, $125 trillion in assets and $20
trillion in market value.
"The Global 2000 continues to amass revenue and assets, but lately,
that has not translated into wealth creation or profits," the
magazine said. In the past year, combined profits were down 31
percent while market value was down 49 percent.
Forbes said an analysis of the Global 2000 shows that despite the
turmoil in the banking industry, banks still dominate, with 307
companies in the 2000 lineup, thanks in large measure to their asset
totals.
The oil and gas industry, with 126 companies, scores high in sales,
profits and stock-market value, yet these sectors were not the
leaders in growth over the past year.
Drug and biotech companies (up 59 percent) led all sectors in sales
growth, while the leaders in profit growth were telecom service
firms (up 51 percent). |
